Génesis 3:23 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 3:23

Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of
Eden
Gave him orders to depart immediately; sent or put him away as a man does his wife, when he divorces her; or as a prince banishes a rebellious subject: for how long Adam was in the garden (See Gill on Psalms 49:12), however, he did not send him to hell at once, as he did the apostate angels, but

to till the ground, from whence he was taken:
either the earth in general, out of which he was made, and to which he must return, and in the mean while must labour hard, in digging and ploughing, in planting and sowing, that so he might get a livelihood; or that particular spot out of which he was formed, which is supposed from hence to have been without the garden of Eden, though very probably near unto it: some say it was a field near Damascus; the Targum of Jonathan is,

``he went and dwelt in Mount Moriah, to till the ground out of which he was created;''

and so other Jewish writers say ^F16, the gate of paradise was near Mount Moriah, and there Adam dwelt after he was cast out.

Génesis 3:23 In-Context

21 Y el Señor
Dios hizo ropa de pieles de animales para Adán y su esposa.

22 Luego el Señor
Dios dijo: «Miren, los seres humanos
se han vuelto como nosotros, con conocimiento del bien y del mal. ¿Y qué ocurrirá si toman el fruto del árbol de la vida y lo comen? ¡Entonces vivirán para siempre!».

23 Así que el Señor
Dios los expulsó del jardín de Edén y envió a Adán a cultivar la tierra de la cual él había sido formado.

24 Después de expulsarlos, el Señor
Dios puso querubines poderosos al oriente del jardín de Edén; y colocó una espada de fuego ardiente —que destellaba al moverse de un lado a otro— a fin de custodiar el camino hacia el árbol de la vida.
